Neil
Head Coach – Trail Running Guide
Neil took up running in 2015 when he entered the East Coast 10k to raise money for charity. Although it wasn’t an instant love affair, with running he soon caught the running bug and hasn’t stopped since. After originally running and racing on roads, Neil found out about trail running and was instantly attracted by the ‘getting out into nature’ feel of it. Having given trail running a go, this time it was an instant love affair. Neil’s main running focus now is trail running and trail races, and he has run many trail races around the UK from 5Ks up to ultras, including the Trail Marathon Wales, the Peddars Way Ultra and the Norfolk 100k.
Neil is an UESCA certified Ultra Running Coach, England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness (CiRF), Run Leader (LiRF).
